What echo_tts does on Hyperion
AI agents call echo_tts to retrieve information from Hyperion without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why echo_tts is rated Low
Even though echo_tts only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs echo_tts safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hyperion, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For echo_tts, this is the rule to start with:
echo_tts is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hyperion, apply this rule, and every echo_tts call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about echo_tts
Synthesize speech from text (needs echo key) (0 sats/call; free tier 100 calls/mo). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hyperion MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hyperion MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for echo_tts: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Hyperion. Nothing to install.
echo_tts is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the echo_tts rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for echo_tts. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
echo_tts is provided by the Hyperion MCP server (https://hyperion.thetempleofdoom.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
